What is this happy grower neighboring the zucchini?
It must have sprouted from aged fall gourds/squash or pumpkins that I used for decoration until past their prime, and then tossed them into the future bed area to compost in place. It is bushing, not vining, but the cosmos and sunflowers near it don't have a chance! Lots of blossoms, but nothing seems to be muturing enough to tell what it will become. I don't want it to cause problems crossing with the pumpkins.
Should it stay or should it go? If there are lots of blooms & lots of bees but no maturing produce - is it likely never to produce (i.e. it should go)?

Looks like pumpkin to me!
Our triamble squash/pumpkin did that too... that is, produced a lot of blooms before ever making anything that looked like a fruit.
I vote stay...otherwise you wont know if it was a squash or a pumpkin?!?! Our squash took quite a while to fruit too.
Thanks for the input. Some of the fruit seems to be "sticking" now. Could be a pumpkin. I'm hoping it's those little mini pumpkins. I'll post an update soon.
